Alberta Open Karate Championships

Saturday, 9th April, saw the Alberta Open Karate Championships take place at the Commonwealth Recreation Centre in Edmonton. Registration opened at 8:00 AM, with 95 competitors and 164 entries which was our biggest event to date. We were pleased to welcome students and instructors from Dojos across Alberta and Northern BC. The Kyokushin spirit was alive and well as participants went through the categories of Kata, Non-contact and Knockdown Divisions. This year saw the event being held at a new venue and offered more expanded lineup of knockdown divisions to match the IKOK-C standard. As such, the podium saw more winners taking home more medals and trophies. The day ended with a “Sayonara Dinner” at KOBE Japanese Bistro, where guests were able to socialize and unwind. We were also honoured to have both Shihan Stuart and Shihan Don Corrigal in attendance.

The Edmonton Kyokushin Karate Club as well as Alberta Open organizing committee would like to thank both Shihans, as well as the officials, participants, parents and supporters for coming out in support of the event, and we hope to see everyone here again next year.

OSU!
